Environment Variables

Configuring Multiple Voice References

You can configure multiple voice references in two ways:

JSON Array Format (Recommended)

Use the FISH_REFERENCES environment variable with a JSON array:

FISH_REFERENCES='[
  {"reference_id":"id1","name":"Alice","tags":["female","english"]},
  {"reference_id":"id2","name":"Bob","tags":["male","japanese"]},
  {"reference_id":"id3","name":"Carol","tags":["female","japanese","anime"]}
]'
FISH_DEFAULT_REFERENCE="id1"

Individual Format (Backward Compatibility)

Use numbered environment variables:

FISH_REFERENCE_1_ID=id1
FISH_REFERENCE_1_NAME=Alice
FISH_REFERENCE_1_TAGS=female,english

FISH_REFERENCE_2_ID=id2
FISH_REFERENCE_2_NAME=Bob
FISH_REFERENCE_2_TAGS=male,japanese

Usage

Once configured, the Fish Audio MCP server provides two tools to LLMs.

Tool 1: fish_audio_tts

Generates speech from text using Fish Audio's TTS API.

Parameters

• text (required): Text to convert to speech (max 10,000 characters)
• reference_id (optional): Voice model reference ID
• reference_name (optional): Select voice by name
• reference_tag (optional): Select voice by tag
• streaming (optional): Enable streaming mode
• format (optional): Output format (mp3, wav, pcm, opus)
• mp3_bitrate (optional): MP3 bitrate (64, 128, 192)
• normalize (optional): Enable text normalization (default: true)
• latency (optional): Latency mode (normal, balanced)
• output_path (optional): Custom output file path
• auto_play (optional): Automatically play the generated audio
• websocket_streaming (optional): Use WebSocket streaming instead of HTTP
• realtime_play (optional): Play audio in real-time during WebSocket streaming

Voice Selection Priority: reference_id > reference_name > reference_tag > default

Tool 2: fish_audio_list_references

Lists all configured voice references.

Parameters

No parameters required.

Returns

• List of configured voice references with their IDs, names, and tags
• Default reference ID

Examples

Basic Text-to-Speech

User: "Generate speech saying 'Hello, world! Welcome to Fish Audio TTS.'"

Claude: I'll generate speech for that text using Fish Audio TTS.

[Uses fish_audio_tts tool with text parameter]

Result: Audio file saved to ./audio_output/tts_2025-01-03T10-30-00.mp3

Using Custom Voice by ID

User: "Generate speech with voice model xyz123 saying 'This is a custom voice test'"

Claude: I'll generate speech using the specified voice model.

[Uses fish_audio_tts tool with text and reference_id parameters]

Result: Audio generated with custom voice model xyz123

Using Voice by Name

User: "Use Alice's voice to say 'Hello from Alice'"

Claude: I'll generate speech using Alice's voice.

[Uses fish_audio_tts tool with reference_name: "Alice"]

Result: Audio generated with Alice's voice

Using Voice by Tag

User: "Generate Japanese speech saying 'こんにちは' with an anime voice"

Claude: I'll generate Japanese speech with an anime-style voice.

[Uses fish_audio_tts tool with reference_tag: "anime"]

Result: Audio generated with anime voice style

List Available Voices

User: "What voices are available?"

Claude: I'll list all configured voice references.

[Uses fish_audio_list_references tool]

Result:
- Alice (id: id1) - Tags: female, english [Default]
- Bob (id: id2) - Tags: male, japanese
- Carol (id: id3) - Tags: female, japanese, anime

HTTP Streaming Mode

User: "Generate a long speech in streaming mode about the benefits of AI"

Claude: I'll generate the speech in streaming mode for faster response.

[Uses fish_audio_tts tool with streaming: true]

Result: Streaming audio saved to ./audio_output/tts_2025-01-03T10-35-00.mp3

WebSocket Real-time Streaming

User: "Stream and play in real-time: 'Welcome to the future of AI'"

Claude: I'll stream the speech via WebSocket and play it in real-time.

[Uses fish_audio_tts tool with websocket_streaming: true, realtime_play: true]

Result: Audio streamed and played in real-time via WebSocket
